ELDER BAKERS LOT.
Happy with His Wives and Sit in Bowery
Museum.

Museum.
From the New York Star.
Elder Joshua Baker, with three wives
and eight children fresh from Cache
valley, Idaho, is now sharing the hon
ors OF the Globe dime museum on the
Bowery with the murdered Railway
girl in wax and Casper Strombach in
papier mache. The elder is q bony,
awkward man with wrinkled fea lures
scanty beard and touzled hair.
The dry winds of Cache have given
him the appearance of man who
would burn up very quickly if touched
of with a match. His face is of the
punched southern type common up in
the hills. Its expression is shrewd
and kindly.
Mr.. Baker was dressed in an alpaca
coat, black cravat, jean shirt and
rough trousers. He and his family
are now getting three square meals a
day. The Mrs. Bakers are not hand
some, but they look very useful. The
children are of various ages, and are
having lots of. fun scampering about
the museum floor. All OF them with
their mothers, are dressed in cheap
stuffs. Taken altogether, it seems to
be u happy family. A plump woman
in a blue print dress who plays the
piano on the platform is sometimes
mistaken for fourth wife.
This is the elders account of him.

THE CAMPAIGN LIAR.

The campaign liar has been turned
loose again, and with his malicious
tongue he is getting in his work. His
mission is to prejudice innocent voters
against Democratic candidates, and the
Alliance Review stands ever ready to
do his bidding and carry out his wicked
designs.
The campaign liar made his first
break by circulating story that Com
missioner Schmachtenberger was drunk
while measuring a bridge in the north
ern end of the county. But before he
had succeeded in making any victims
of his viciousness he was swamped in
political slush In Marlboro township,
and he is calling upon the Review to
save him from the wrath of offended
Democrats.
Mr.. Schmachtenberger has lived in
Paris township for nearly forty years,
and there is no man who knows him, be
he Democrat or Republican, that will
not brand the story as an infamous lie.
It is malicious lie, that is used as a
weapon to defeat a competent Commits
sioner. 1t is an exhibition of the heel
ers clap-trap that might have made
fame for ward bummers, and it shamed
the editor of the Review and his party.
1t is the same old campaign chestnut
that was useda year ago to defeat Com
missioner Smith, and it will only act
as a recOil upon it's inventors.
Similar lies were waged against
Clerk McGregor and Auditor Manly
year ago, but the good Republicans of
Marlboro placed their seal Of condem-
nation upon the dastarGiy act by run
ming both gentlemen ahead of their
ticket. And the man who attempts to
win votes from the opposition by cir
culating such notorious lies will not
fare a whit better this year than he did
last

Ar. g. O. COLLISION.
A Conductor Killed and Several Others
Injured in q Wreck.


STEUBENvILLE, Nov. Especial. i
A Wheeling special says; The passen-
ger train due in this city at G:10 and
lO;45 o'clock last night over the Pitts
burg division of the Baltimore & Ohio
are stalled at point about fifteen miles
east of the city by bad freight wreck,
The accident occurred about 6 o'clock
and resulted in the death Of Conductor
John Shields, of Washington, Pa, and
the wounding of several of the crews OF
the trains. Regarding the extent OF
these casualties or the names of those
injured nothing can be learned. Pas.
sengers who arrived in the city in
wagons from the scene of the wreck say
it occurred on heavy grade, and tlat
portion of the westbound freight
broke loose and ran back short dis
tance, where it jumped the track and
added great deal to the loss and to the
length of time which must elapsC
before traffic can be resumed. Early
in the evening it was reported in this
city that the passenger train due in th'
evening had met with disaster, bu
later this was contradicted.

Upon opening of court this morning
the case of the State of Ohio VS.. John
Coughlin was called. The attorneys
for the State made strong plea for a
continuance Of two weeks from Monday
next for preparation in the case. The
defense made a vigorous kick against
any delay whatever. But the Judge
thinking the defense needed some time
and that election day should be kept
holy, postponed the case until one week
from Monday next.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

Stark County is the fifth county in
the State, and the Office of Commission
er is one of the gravest responsibility,
requiring untiring watchfulness, in
tegrity above suspicion, and business
habits of very high order. Jacob
Schmachtenberger, one of our present
Commissioners, and Democratic candi-
date for reelection next Tuesday, has
shown himself in this Office, as he has
always done in the management of
public trusts for about a half century
in this county, the right man in the
right place. While administering the
affairs of the county with an eye single
to the good of the whole people, and at
the least possible cost to them, he has
steadily set his face against jobs and
jobbery of every kind. And this very
fact has reused the ire and opposition
of some having hands in such jobs
upon which the Commissioners have
set down from time to time, and we
understand they are doing everything
in their power to defeat Mr. Schmach'
tenberger
One of these jobs was the proposed
purchase of additional grounds for the
use of the Agricultural Society. Every
effort was made to induce the Commits
sioners to purchase the large tract Of
low lands, just across the creek from
the present Fair Grounds. Apart from
the fact that these lands are about tt
be overfOwed several times year, anC
their general lack of suitability for the
purpose intended, the purchase money
required to secure them, not less thar
twenty thousand dollars, would have
been the least part of the expense to thu
people of the county. A change in th'
road and at least two new bridges, to
gether with the money necessary to pu
the grounds even in passable shap
would have eventually cost the peopl
more than sixty Thousand dollars
Against this project Jacob Schmach
tenberger set his face resolutely on tn
ground that the Commissioners had n
| right to spend such an amount Of none
without the consent of the. peopl
equally given by vote at some regula
or special election. When those havin
the matter in hand found they cOul
prevail nothing with the Commission
ers, they went secretly to the Legisls
| ture, then in session, and before any
body but themselves knew anythin
about it. a bill was rushed through th
lower house having in view the consun
nation of the project without asking th
consent of the people who would hav
the bill to pay. When Mr.. Schmacf
tenberger heard of its being before th
EOhio Senate, they united with others t
have it SO amended that on each appr'
priation of money, should be made b

sedentary Habits.

In this age of push and worry, the
business man and Che professional man
are alike unable to devote any adequate
time to exercise. In the daily round of
toll and pleasure, no suitable provision
is made for that important function,
and the result is that men of sedentary
habits become subject to many forms
of ailments arising from q torpid or or
sluggish liver. Constipation, sick
headache, biliousness and dyspepsia are
all due to the improper action of the
liver. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets cure these troubles by restoring
the liver to its normal condition.
